Comment on YSK that if U.S. housing and U.S population projections hold, the Electoral College will shift further away from Democrats after the 2030 census.

As a leftie who moved to one of those red states, please come help. We can flood these places with enough people to tip them, we just need to stop with fatalistic bullshit about how these states are “beyond all hope.” No they’re fucking not. Get out of your comfort zone, do your duty to our democracy, and ffs stop self sorting into deep blue states. Staying where it’s blue is easy but it doesn’t do much good.

As a leftie who moved to a red state a decade ago, welcome to the suck. It only gets worse.

  Lol I know, I know. I’m not a decade in yet, but it’s been a good half decade and it’s definitely… an experience.

Of those in red states during presidental elections, they are around 25-35% of voters that voted for a Democrat president. And there’s a big untouched potential with nonvoters who aren’t convinced by either political party. There’s no reason to give up on any state

Ngl, I just spent a week in Indiana. Hate to say it, but the vibe was truly “beyond all hope.”

  YSK that if they have kids, that doesn’t give them more votes. The kids can’t vote until they’re 18.

    YSK Bush was last in office in 2009. he instituted changes in government that have allowed and even empowered the fascist takeover.
    
    2009 was 16 years ago. there are still 8 more years behind his last day where plenty of Americans are now voting age.
    
    a surprising amount of millennials and genz voters are trump supporters.
